Jafar has returned to your village as a mostly peaceful resident, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to stop scheming in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Fortunately for players, his schemes are mostly harmless and revolve around experiments like making Essence of Wonder.

There are lots of ingredients you can experiment with to find the right recipe for this essence, but this process can be quite time-consuming. It’s a lot easier to know the exact ingredients you need so you can finish making this essence on your first try, so here’s how to make Essence of Wonder in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

You can make Essence of Wonder in Disney Dreamlight Valley by mixing together three key essences:

  • Essence of Excitement
  • Essence of Sincerity
  • Essence of Hope

All three of these items are sitting on the table near the cooking station located in Jafar’s Laboratory during The Alchemical Revolution quest. This is one of three unique essences you need to brew for him, with the other two being the Essence of Will and the Essence of Wishes.

Once you have the three essences you need to make Essence of Wonder gathered, head over to the cooking station to combine them. This cooking station functions like any regular stove around the valley but has a drastically different appearance, so if you’re struggling to find it, look for an alchemy table instead since this is what it actually looks like.

Interact with the cooking station, otherwise known as Jafar’s Alchemy Table, and throw in the Essence of Excitement, the Essence of Sincerity, and the Essence of Hope. Cook all three together and the result is the Essence of Wonder you need to give Jafar. This isn’t too tough of a dish to make, especially compared to the meal you have to make to feed Jafar’s bird, but it can be tricky to figure out the right essences to use with so many to choose from.

After making the Essence of Wonder, you need to have both the Essence of Will and the Essence of Wishes also made before you can progress further in Jafar’s quest. Luckily for gamers, you’re fairly close to the end of this one, so there’s not too much left to do before you can move on to other tasks.

Once you’re done with this tricky quest, there are still plenty of other tasks to tackle around the valley. Another tough one is making the Mysterious Cajun Recipe so you can unlock Tiana. You also might want to work on getting the Matryoshka Dolls so you can recruit Jack Skellington.
